Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Camelbak. Every ride. Holds normal pump, shock pump, water, randelas, phone, multitool and any schnacks I want to take along for the longer rides. No bottle cages. Skott5, Patensie, Craigwt and 1 other 4
DJR Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I know that it is frowned upon, but I just don't care, I'd rather be prepared and never forget anything critical and get stuck in a lonely place or walk home. So, each of my bikes have a small saddlebag with a tube, tyre lever, multi-tool and a quick-link in as well as a pump on the frame. That way I know I can just grab the bike and go for a ride and I like the reduced logistics! Newest, Cassie and ruib 3
flat29 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Ja, why two? because when your buddy has a problem then you can give him one and carry on riding :ph34r: :whistling: lone one and ruib 2
Wil6 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 because when your buddy has a problem then you can give him one and carry on riding :ph34r: :whistling: Or you can use the spare one to open your beer nonky and flat29 2
FrancoisC Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Depends what type of ride I go on...

Word on the street is if you are a roadie in a group, then you should gooi it. Helps the oke next to you with chain lube so that they can save 10g by leaving it at home
scotty Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Saddlebags, my pockets are for sweets, gels etc.
Rata Del Spruit Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Greatest piece of kit ever. The back uses a mesh to keep the pack about two or three centimetres off your back so that there's plenty of airflow. You don't even know you're carrying it, even when you've filled the water bladder up. http://www.dakine-shop.de/images/product_images/detail_images/8110030_BL1_DRAFTER_BLUE_FTR3-5282.jpg Bra B 1
Li Mu Bai Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) On the bike: 1 bottle cage carries a Pro tool cannister 500ml, with plug kit, 2x tire levers, 2x 25g bombs, bomb applicator, spare gear cables and deraileur hanger, and Topeak multi-tool.As far as possible, I let the bike frame carry most heavy things.On me: That said I prefer using a flat 2litre racing camelback lite rather than bottles which get muddy/pooed/dusty/filthy when riding as I hydrate every 20mins. So car key or cellphone go into the small front pocket and emergency hand pump on the side in the main chamber with the full camelback bladder. Gels/baby taters, spare tube, and swat canister in rear shirt pockets. In the past I have used saddlebags, but generally these have not lasted and the holding straps have been torn open/away with all the bumps etc mountain biking brings.

Izak Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 One bottlecage with "juice". Right pocket phone, money, energy bar and bananaMiddle pocket bottle with water and Lezyne Alloy drive pump (pump and takes CO2)Left pocket tube with gator Small saddle bag with the following:1 x Crankbrothers tool1 x bomb2 x tyre levers1 x tubeless repair kit with extra valve and some chain links
Gen Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I take my hubby with and he carriers everything. But I saw some super cool while on holiday. We popped into the Concept store in Margate to get my helmet and the one Specialized there has the very cool case thingy that fits onto the bottom tube of the bike. Big enough for the basics that would normally go into the saddle bag. I was most impressed with it when we asked Mr Stander about it.
MTBc Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Multi tool, tubeless repair kit (file, insertion tool and a few plugs), 2 bombs + adapter. In backpack / hydration pack. Easily transferred to back pocket if i'm not riding with a shell.
NotSoBigBen Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Saddlebags, my pockets are for sweets, gels etc. Jeez big guy how much sweets do you need feetup 1
